What was your first electronic music event?

At the Winter Music Festival in Miami Beach about 5 years ago. The entire week was filled with some of the best mixers and energy around.

What/who influenced you to attend your first event?

My girlfriend got me hooked on the energy.

What is one moment from an event that was special and why?

That day was special, but it was years later at the Amsterdam Dance Event that I was completely mesmerized. I watched 7,000 people all dance at once. It was incredible. The music, the vibe, the music lovers. It was more than just a little bit special.

What is your favorite festival or event?

Amsterdam Dance Event.

What is your favorite electronic song and why?

I am still a big fan of Daft Punk. I think the way they mix things up is fantastic.
